THE SLAYER
w. 7. Grigsby is q young yell known
10 this city. He was il the saloon
business, and was well liked
by all. He had the reputation of being
quiet, gentlemsnly aud clever man who
had not an enemy on earth. His unfOrtu-
nate episode Is g source of regret TO all.
THE SLAIN.
Michael Hsggerty was young Irish
man who was employee as engineer in
one of the beer houses of this city.
lie was known as en- honest,
Industrious, hard working man
who wes esteemed by his
employers and all who knew him. He
had Just married q short time ago
an estimable lady, and his death is
sincerely regretted by all.
EN- PEASANT,
And so, two families are shrouded with
grief and the community Clouded with
gloom. One immortal soul has been cut
from its mortal moorings and sent
to meet its maker without
word of warning or q moment for
reflection and preparation Another life is
left to linger along in suffering worse
than death. A young widow is left TO
mourn the loss Of husband, and two
families must wear the sable form of
grief. And for what ? Let the laWmsk-
ers answer; let the wise men tell.
A TERRIBLE AWAKENING.
About dark Grigsby awakened TO con-
seriousness and complained of head
ache. The attendants said nothing about
what had happened. Noticing that his
clothing was torn in several places, he
asked what was the cause. He was told
that he had been picked up on the streets
drunk and brought to jail. He sent out
for some clothing and remarked that
he would fix up and go home. He said
that he had promised his wife that he
would 60 and get drunk, and now that
he was all right he would go home sober
and fool her. When he had changed his
clothing he desired to 60 home, but the
TAILOR told him he could not 90. When
he insisted on knowing the reason
the terrible truth was told him.
lie would not believe Il At
first, but when convinced he eyider ced
much pain and declared that II he had
really killed his friend he wanted To be
indicted for murder IN the first degree
aud he would plead guilty and be- hanged.

Mr.: Chas. d. Paul.. printer, is now
meditatiDg about what transitory thing
wealth is and how quickly and unex-
pectedlo ii can sometimes take wings and
fly away. Mr.. Paul is one of the heirs of
the late Gabriel Chouteau, who provided
in his will that the bulk of his property
should be sold and the proceeds divided
among his heirs, very ordinary and
simple proceeding in the Probate Court
Psups interest in the estate would have
aggregate d between s., 006 aud S. 900. Tne
will was admitted to probate some time in
the early part of July. The typo. however,
was so oYerjoyed at the ''big take'' that had
come into his possession that he could not
await the regular proceedings incident to
the winding up of the estate and the dis.
tribution of the proceeds. He proceeded
TO hunt up legal advice for the purpose of
havlnsphis interest looked after and to ex-
pedite things. He consulted Mr.. +. ].
Mcbride, who agreed to look after the mat
ter for one-hat of Mr.. Paul's interest IN the
estate. Mr.. Paul accepted the proposition,
and executed to Mr.. Mcbride a paper con.
veyiDg to him one-half of what was to be
realized, with the understanding that Mr..
Mcbride was to attend to all the legal ser
vices necessary. This was on August 81.
Still inpatient on August q Mr.. Paul
concluded to unload the other half coming
estate Office of Tasffe & Gray, where he
sold it for 5000 cash. Placing
q Sub at his case, he gathered around
him few companions and proceeded to
give the town crimson hue. First one
saloon after another was visited the
nights blended into days in kind of in
different sort Of way to Mr.. Paul. He had
grand old time, ss he would style it, and
got gloriously drunk. He sobered up Fri
day without one cent of the 5000 in his
| pockets. and his interest in the Chouteau
estate bartered away. Yesterday Mr.. E.
A, B. Garesche, as attorney for Mrs.
Amelia Paul, mother of the unfortunate

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH,
Produce.

CHICAGO, September 5.-The markets opened
steady to-day substantially where they closed
on Saturday, but business was fsz from brisk,
owing to the prevailing quiet in other large
markets and the disposition to wait until the
visible supply statement is announced, which
will not occur until tomorrow. October wheat
meeting with any sort of credenee put the de-
crease this week st 100000 bn. or possibly a
shade above. These figures were not large
enough to give any decioed strength. The en-
tire range was within &c, ween 705se and
70Ic. Toward the latter part of the session it
was very steady st 70Hc. October wheat armed
asked. Corn Was sluggish ell day after the first
halt hour until the last fifteen minutes of the
morning session, when operators who had
took to cover TO be in shape for the visible sup
ply report to morrow, when prices moved up
fIom &c to &c, and closed about He better than
on Saturday. October opened at Axe sold down
to 41c, afterwards steadied at 4l1Ac and at the
close hrmed up TO 4lss &c May sold at 4t2sc
early, became steady at 4i14c@i41so and 81 the
close was advanced to 4514c Osls were rather
slow and offerings were in excess of the de-
maDd. This and an easy market for corn inhu
enced speculation and caused futures TO rule
weaker, land a slightly easier, but toward the
close frmer feeling prevailed. October opened
at 241Se, declined to 24ssc. and closed at 241sc.
Outside of a little activity in short ribs
exceedingly quiet day WAS passed in
the provision market-neither buyers nor
sellers were inclined to trade to any extent
Outside Influences were mesgre. Hogs were
higher. while Liverpool. markets exhibited a
reduction of pence in Lard, and the principal
eastern markets were closed on account OF a
holiday. Orders from outside parties were
small and local operat1 DTS were not inclined TO
do much business. Prices for pork and lard
were steady while short ribs sides ruled higher.
Inquiry for shipment was moderate, in the way
of filing small orders. but buyers were slow to
pay former prices and trading some what
limited. The receipts were fair and the ship
ments Of all kinds unusually heavy. Stocks are
being reduced rapidly. October lard sold at
sc 40@6 As. and closed steady at As; October
advanced to IS co. declined to IS Az, reacted
and closed steady at S S.. Year mess pork was
quiet and nominal at S11 S0@11 IS.

ran MAIL GaZetLe.
Prof. Vlrchow, at the last meeting OF tht
Medizinische Gesellschaft, gave an account
OF 'Hunger-Virtuosen" of the early par
OF the last century, who was as famous in
day as the Tanner, Cetti, and Merlatt
of our own. The Polish noblemRn Bern
hardus tasted during the whole forty days
of Lent. only occasionally wetting the sur
face of his tongue with little sweet siruE
and water. DR.. Virchow showed portrait
of the "faster" borrowed from the Hart
mann collection. 1t was painted in 1719
and represented the most wretched object
made up Of mere skin and bone, sitting
with crossed arms in a detected attitude
DR.. Voss, the director of the royal museum
at Berlin, said that this portrait formerly
hung in the guests room of the inn "Zum
Hirsch," in Plon, where it seems to have
been used by way of caution to the guests
as if to impress them with the appalling
result of neglecting to eat n good dinner.
